What to know about fire shutters in Blackheath

A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.

Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design.

Features to choose from

  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Blackheath?

Yes. Blackheath (SE3) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Greenwich, Catford and Eltham.

How often should a fire shutter be tested?

Fire shutters are part of a building's fire precautions, so they must be kept in working order. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for a drop test and service at least once a year, and more often where they are used heavily.

Will a fire shutter close in a power cut?

Fire shutters are designed to close on loss of power or on a fire signal, usually by gravity with a governed speed, so they fail safe.

What rating do I need?

The rating must match the fire-resisting wall the shutter is in, which is set by the building's fire strategy or fire risk assessment. We work from that, or from your fire engineer's specification.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
